pCloud's app focuses on sync and crypto, not multi-cloud ops

pCloud Drive syncs a folder. Moving files pCloud → S3, or browsing pCloud next to an SFTP server, requires the web interface or manual downloads. A pcloud file manager should offer OAuth login, datacenter-aware API access, and cross-protocol transfers in one desktop session. EU residency teams and media creators still export and re-upload when they need selective copies to R2 or a NAS — the sync client does not expose dual-pane browsing or a queue built for hybrid cloud workflows.

OAuth pCloud with datacenter auto-detection

Authorize with pCloud — CloudPairs reads your datacenter (US or EU) and stores OAuth tokens in your OS keychain on Windows 10/11 or macOS 13+. Browse folders visually, queue large transfers with retry, and automate pCloud → backup bucket workflows with cron rules (Pro). Copy pCloud ↔ S3, SFTP, or Dropbox without routing through your laptop. Free 14-day Pro trial, no credit card, then $12/mo for automation and unlimited connections.
